Jake Paul Returns to the Ring After Broken Jaw

Jake Paul, the YouTuber boxer who has been away from the ring for over a year, has confirmed that he is returning to boxing. In December 2025, he suffered a broken jaw in his fight against former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and said after the injury that he might never fight again.

Paul failed to land a punch in the first three rounds. Joshua knocked him down in the fifth round and finished him with a knockout in the sixth. Paul has now announced that he will fight in Dubai on December 24, on Christmas Eve.

His opponent has not been decided yet. Paul said there are “a lot of names” on his list and that they will see who signs the contract. With a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, Paul is preparing to return to the spotlight with this bout.

For a long time, there has been talk of a fight with KSI, Tommy Fury and former UFC fighter Darren Till. According to The Athletic, Fury is currently not on the list. KSI has announced his retirement. A bout with Till makes sense, given their frequent back-and-forth online and in interviews.
